First Annual (Ad Hoc) Holiday Party

Is your holiday season filled parties, gatherings, and gettogethers? Well, add H Is for Hellgate to that list! Please join us for our First Annual Holiday Party next Wednesday, December 5th at the Crocodile Cafe. We hit the stage first at about 9:00 PM.

Please note: We're not going to make you miserable with Christmas tunes, but we will give away a beautifully-crafted H Is for Hellgate T-shirt to the person:

1) who wears the outfit with the most holiday spirit, or

2) who gives us the best homemade cookies. Extra points for sprinkles.

Also appearing are The Shondes (NY) and Ms. Led. Cover is six dollars. We look forward to catching up with you!

Yours,

H Is for Hellgate

Imitation is the highest form of flattery, right?

Hmmmm.

On second thought...

Two items:

1) We're not done with 2007. The mighty and wonderful forces in the world have finally given us the opportunity to play at the historic/critically acclaimed/whatever Crocodile. Better yet, we're opening for Ms. Led as they celebrate their video release. Tres rad.

We go on at 9:00-ish....nice and early for our elderly fans. Also playing are The Shondes from big ole New York.

2) We're not done with Sean Nelson. (Insert stale joke about not being able to "quit him.") Ben sent H Is for Hellgate this very distressing email yesterday:

I found this in Sean Nelson's blog (and no I don't know why I felt the need to look at his blog). Scroll down to the end. He's starting to use Hooray and that ain't cool. Next thing you know he's going to claim he started Hooray. Fuck that!

" See Me 10 Years Ago Today
Well, yesterday, technically.

That was the tenth anniversary (please don't say "10-year anniversary"; it's like saying "three a.m. in the morning") of the original release of Where Have All the Merrymakers Gone?, the debut album by my band, Harvey Danger.
...
A few short months later, everything got completely douchetarded.

Hooray!"

Now, anyone who is in touch with reality knows that Ben started "Hooray!". Remember that, because we're gonna need some witnesses to testify with this shit goes down!
